Hello everyone.  Von Marie here Happy Tuesday.  I’m so excited to be on the blog today sharing about this weeks challenge #IB380 Eggs and a really fun and not so hard sketch I think.

Here’s how I was inspired:  I really love those eggs with the patterns on them and then I loved the colors.  Next, I loved the card sketch.

So Let’s Get Started:

I chose to use a die set in my stash never used yay I’m finally using it.  It’s from Honey Bee Stamps called Build An Egg Die Set.  I ran a simple egg die through my die cutting machine with white heavy weight cardstock 110 lbs. 3 times.  The card sketch looked like 3 shapes so therefore my 3 eggs. 

Next, I ink blended 1 egg with Simon Says Stamp Steel Blue dye ink and Catherine Pooler Hot Tub dye ink.  The next egg I ink blended it with Altenew Silver Sage ink.  My last egg was ink blended with Altenew Eucalyptus ink.  I then used Altenew Forest Fern dye ink to stamp a stamped image from Essentials By Ellen called Pieced Together another stamp I have never used yay onto my first egg.  I then wanted a different green ink so I chose Memento Cottage Ivy dye ink and used 2 other different images from the set.

I grabbed a 4 x 5 1/4 white cardstock panel and a gray A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I stamped with black ink my sentiment from Waffle Flower Crafts called Rejoice Rabbit Stamp.  I glued everything with liquid glue.  I used a white gel pen for some accents on my eggs like the inspiration photo. I like how this card came out and although my eggs are bigger than the shapes on the card sketch I still think it works.  I hope I inspired you to try this challenge.

My card was inspired by the pretty muted blue and green tones, the delicate botanicals on the eggs, and the sketch. As you can see, my eggs have hatched some cute little chicks just in time to celebrate Easter.

So many different takes on the inspiration last week. It is always fun to see how people are inspired.

Such a gorgeous, vibrant card! I love all of the colors and texture as well as the fun glitter centres on some of the flowers. Congratulations Teresa!

Don’t forget to play along this week:

Sometimes you begin a card with one idea, and end up making something you never eggs-pected, haha! That’s what happened this week after I saw the delightful floral eggs in the inspiration photo.

I knew I wanted to use Carta Bella’s “Home Again” patterned paper collection for the eggs. I die cut them using Honey Bee Stamps’ adorable “Egg Crate,” then noticed the fun letter board paper in the collection. I thought it would be fun to make a farm stand sign using The Greetery’s “Slim Alphabet” dies.

I colored some of the eggs with a sponge dauber and ink, then shaded the egg crate with Copic markers. So much fun! Now I can use this card for Easter, or as a fun note for a friend any time of the year!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

There is something about stacked elements on a card that instantly makes it eye-catching. I had so much fun creating this tall, cheerful card with eggs all stacked up, the cutest little chick on top. The colors and patterns bring out the spring times element. I used Lori Whitlock’s Echo Park Easter Basket collection and an Doodlebug SVG file.

Can’t wait to see how the inspired by challenge this week brings out your creativity! Share with us!

Hey everyone, Laurel here. I absolutely love this week’s inspiration. I love the colors so I am sure I will be creating another card because today, I was inspired by the theme and the eggs.

I have used the Easter Basket collection from @Echoparkpaper. For the main image I fussy cut it from one of the pattern papers and mounted it on foam squares. The Happy die is from The Stamps of Life. This card is pretty simple, as I am battling the flu and it took all the brain cells I had available LOL

Now we can’t wait to see how you are inspired! Be sure to share your creation in our Facebook Group too!

This week’s Inspired By Challenge is a soft and serene celebration of springtime eggs . Delicate botanical designs dance across these beautifully painted eggs, with gentle shades of blue, sage, and soft green creating a calm, nature-inspired palette.

Will it be the intricate leafy details, the organic shapes, the theme or the peaceful color tones that spark your creativity? Maybe you’ll be inspired by the repetition of patterns, the layered greenery, or the simple elegance of spring’s natural beauty.

Whether you go clean and minimal or full of detailed texture, let this fresh and earthy inspiration guide your project. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Hello everyone.  Happy Tuesday and Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Von Marie here and I’m so excited to be on the blog today.  Isn’t our challenge this week so fun? Spring Brights #IB379 and a New Card Sketch.

Let’s Get started:

I was inspired by the colors, tulips, and bowl.  

I used a Layering Spring stencil from pretty Pink Posh that has 2 stencils one for the flowers and one for the greenery.  I used Concord & 9th ink cubes in Ballet Slippers, Buttercup, Parsley, and Aqua Sky on white cardstock.  I thought these colors of inks looked like the
inspiration photo. I then cut my stenciled background to be 4 x 5 1/4.

Next, I stamped a set of bowls image from Unity Stamp Co. called Bowl Full Of Comfort with Memento Tuxedo Dew Drop ink.  I colored the bowls with my Copic Markers to match the inspiration photo and my stenciled background.  I also stamped a sentiment and cut it with my paper trimmer.  Everything was then glued with liquid glue to a A2 side folding card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Lastly, I added some pink gems from Pinkfresh Studio.  I think this card came out, so cute.  I hope you join us!
